We’ve updated the SSD recipe.
This new iteration adds Citra, Kohatu, and Galaxy hops to our Double West Coast IPA, sharpening the bridge between two coasts: San Sebastián and San Diego. Slightly hazy, bitter, and even more expressive, with notes of pineapple, grape, and mango.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 18/04/2026 ... looks like my Juan-Hundredth rake from Basqueland!
Clear golden topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is grass, pine nip, grapefruit, mandarin, ripe melon.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit, pine needle, melon, grass.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come grassy hop bitterness allied to a mellow balanced boost.
Tidy WC leaning DIPA.

Can. This edition hopped with Citra Kohatu and Galaxy. The picture on the can is identical to SSD 2.0 but different hops and the abv is now 8.6%. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light smooth pale malts provide a modicum of creamy sweetness but, the hops are the boss here. Crisp cooling pine, a little hop spice nip and a refreshing bitterness. Citrus and stone fruits bring up the back end, whisper of tropical fruits. Crisp spicy bitter finish. West Coast done right for me.
